UM kicked its arguably its top two defensive players, defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad and linebacker Jermaine Grace, off the team today for their role in a luxury car rental scandal.
According to a source, UM determined Muhammad and Grace were given luxury car rentals by South Beach Exotic Rentals in exchange for the company's owner receiving a stake in their professional futures.
UM did not offer specifics on their violations, but released this statement:
"The University of Miami announced today that red-shirt junior Al-Quadin Muhammad and senior Jermaine Grace have been permanently dismissed from the Hurricanes football program for violating NCAA rules. The University will, however, continue their financial aid through graduation. The decision was made in consultation with outside counsel and after discussions with the NCAA enforcement staff. As no staff members or boosters were involved in the violations, the program will not be subject to sanctions and, at this time, the University deems this matter closed."
Besides breaking NCAA rules, a source familiar with the case said Muhammad and Grace were not honest with UM about their wrongdoings or their interaction with the South Beach Exotic Rentals.
If they had been more truthful with UM, the discipline likely would have been less severe, according to someone with knowledge of the situation.
Just tell the truth man, was to much to ask

Well u got that right I should REP youIt's cool Miami will only beat FSU by 31 on October 8th
Juwon Young says......
Juwon Young, who was also involved in the rental cars but was dismissed earlier this summer and is now enrolled at Marshall, toldSaturday afternoon that "it's crazy" Grace and Muhammad were dismissed.
"It was just legitimate cars - nobody did anything bad, nobody took money, shot anybody, nothing outrageous," Young said. "It was just cars."
Young says he was dismissed earlier than the other two because "I wasn't forthcoming - that's why I was suspended, but they didn't get suspended at the time."
He adds "At the time it was a lot of confusion. I was thinking we could pay it back, pay whatever."
He said media reports about the incident paint an accurate portrayal in terms of the student-athletes not paying for the rentals.
Young sums up his final thoughts on today's dismissals: "That's crazy how they got what they got."
